Al Sharpton Thanks Limbaugh For Playing Teleprompter Gaffe: ‘Keep Taking The Bait!’
Mediaite ^ | 8/10/11 | Frances Martel

Posted on 08/10/2011 6:19:25 PM PDT by Nachum

Al Sharpton isn’t one to keep quiet when under attack, and tonight he responded in kind to the near-universal conservative guffaw his “resist we much” teleprompter gaffe received last night. Specifically, he responded to Rush Limbaugh, who suggested jokingly that the teleprompter was “racist.” Taking full responsibility for garbling the words, he thanked Limbaugh for bringing him viewers, telling him, “I want to preach to your choir!”

Sharpton seemed in good spirits about the gaffe, clarifying that, unlike Limbaugh’s conspiracies, “there’s no racist teleprompter” and “there’s no black journalist trying to sabotage me– I messed up a line!” He took so much responsibility, noting that it happens to anyone who has ever hosted a show, “including you,” that he even gave away another gaffe he made tonight. “There is no ‘Environmental Projection Agency,’” he noted, requesting Limbaugh play that mistake, too. “Play that tomorrow, because I want all of your listeners to start watching me,” he argued. “I don’t want to preach to the choir– I want to preach to your choir, Rush!” He also addressed the “conspiracies” surrounding his hire: “I don’t deal with them because they make people watch.”

Al, we need to clue you in... when Conservatives while watching you, we`re laughing AT you, not WITH you.

Al honestly thinks Rush’s audience is going to hurry over to watch his show? Really?

LOL, what a character. This guy passed buffoon status decades ago.

I don’t think I could sit and watch more than two minutes of his show. It tells you something about folks who can.

Isn’t it amazing how far MSNBC will go over the line toward mental illness, pseudo treason, rather than provide a level headed news service to gain more market share.

And these folks think McCarthy had it all wrong.

Marxists are nowhere to be found in our MSM.

Well, I guess ripping the nation apart is worth it if you can get a 0.1% bump in market share. Look how it has paid off.

Uh, yeah, Al. That was “bait.”

I listened at work and laughed and laughed.

Hmmm, Al Gore, Al Franken, and Al Sharpton.

Note to expectant parents....

p“I want to preach to your choir!”

Well, good, then! Because every so often, Rush will play that "Baraq the Magic..." song with the Sharpton bullhorn. Got you choir right here...

Rearend Albert Sharpton, the only reason anyone of intelligence would watch you would either be to see an example of the depths to which the media has fallen or, as in this case, the sheer comedy value.

LOL, sorry Al,

I'd rather hear soundbites of your stupidity on Rush.... then waste(however long)listening to you polluting the already repugnant airwaves emanating from BSNBC.
